driving with AD
Sorry to repeat myself but it was quite simple for my husband, he was diagnosed in August, the psychiatrist said I have to tell you you shouldn't drive then gave us a phone number for the assessment centre. I rang them, got an appointment, went there and he was given cognitive tests which he was absolutely hopeless at and then he was taken on a drive with two people and then told he was fine to drive. He has to go back in a years time to take it again. I wrote and told the DVLA and his insurance company, the DVLA have written back only recently and asked me to send in his driving licence and they will send him a yearly one.
I realise it was much easier because we were with the psychiatrist, he said you shouldn't drive now you have been diagnosed and told us of this place but if people won't go and have the test (assessment) I don't know what you can do.
